I will be on a flight tomorrow that will cross my 4 million air miles with American, then on another American flight to St Martin/BVI this Sunday. In my years out of flying throughout the US, Europe and the Caribbean out of DFW, AA's primary hub, I can count the number of major issues created by American on one hand. Clearly, there have been weather related issues, but overall, I am one happy camper with their service. I am a a bit frustrated with the frequent flyer benefits which got hammered with their US Air acquisition that has resulted in too many fliers with too many miles to burn and the impact on upgrades that even impact my lifetime platinum status. That said, the schedules, cities served, and overall quality of aircraft (now that they have finally moved out the remainder of the well worn MD80 aircraft) keeps them in my good graces. And, as noted above, they are getting me to the Caribbean this weekend!!!!!!!
